50+ Iranian Christians arrested since the 12-day war

Wednesday, September 3, 2025

Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence has admitted to arresting more than 50 Christians since the end of the war with Israel in June. Many of them remain detained. The Christians are accused of involvement in “anti-security” activities. 

These arrests are part of a wider crackdown on groups the government claims took part in anti-regime activities during the conflict. Among those targeted are Baha’is (a religious minority group), Kurds, Baluchis, monarchists, and journalists—all communities that have faced oppression by the authorities for many years.

Please pray for:

  • Protection and comfort for those caught up in this crackdown

  • The Lord to embolden His Church in the face of this wave of persecution

  • The regime to accept that Christians do not have a political agenda and simply want freedom to worship Jesus
